I wear a size 11 and my foot is very narrow. I ordered the 42 Narrow and it fit perfectly. The Granada style seems nice and narrow. I have ordered other Birkenstock styles in narrow like the Arizona and it doesn’t seem to fit as well. Still too wide. I also love the “soft footbed.” It has a layer of foam between the leather lining and the cork footbed and it’s very comfortable. Other Birkenstock styles that don’t say “soft footbed” tend to be hard in my opinion. These are super cute. Got the oiled leather in brown.

This is my second pair of Granadas and I love them. This is the first pair with the soft footbed (they didn't have the regular footbed in my size) and is taking some getting used to but in a good way. I found the straps to be a little bit snugger than my other pair, but they are stretching out a bit now after a week. I like the brown oiled leather Habana strap material to look nice, my other pair was a bit lighter in color. I like this style because it is similar to the Arizona style, but more feminine.

I've always thought Birkenstock sandals looked funky. However, they are also very comfortable, fit very well, even on my long, narrow feet. There's a good reason for their non-conformist appearance; they're good for the posture and the feet. I love these shoes. I have now bought two more pairs of Birkenstock sandals in different styles and colors. I have severe hip and back pain when walking or standing, and these shoes have helped alleviate the constant pain.

I had to size down from my usual size or the sandal slid off and the toe ridges were in the wrong place. Otherwise, love them. supportive and comfy, the soft foot bed feels great

I am Still Excited!! I've been a Birkie Girl for 30+ years, the last pair I bought (over 20 yrs ago) was this exact style - MY FAVORITE - I searched for them at several different places : Only Zappo's HAD them in the size & color I Needed AND at a better price than anywhere else! Birkenstock's hasn't skimped on quality, nor changed-up sizing & I feel like I'm 21 & free Again to walk happy! ps: I broke my foot two months ago & these are Perfect as I deal with swelling & learning to walk properly while healing. Blessings!Deb

When I tried them on in a store I had to go a whole size smaller; glad I didn’t just order according to the size chart. The leather top is a bit stiff, but I think it will soften with time. Love the soft foodbed!

I think the Granada style has been discontinued, so I grabbed them before they are gone.
They are slightly more feminine than the Arizona style and the Soft Footbed can't be beat - it just adds to the overall comfort.

I bought these to replace a very worn out pair of Birks my daughter had. She loves them very much. The color and style is great. We ordered the tobacco oiled leather. Very nice color. And even though we didn't do expedited shipping these shoes arrived in 2 days! Very happy and would recommend to anyone.

I just didn’t care for the style of this shoe. I ordered a narrow and they were too narrow. Great footbed

These are beautiful shoes but they hit me just wrong on my feet. Even with the adjustable option they just didnt feel good. To me much cuter than lots of Birkenstocks.

I wear Birkenstocks pretty much year round. I have long, very narrow feet; and I appreciate their comfort and quality, but most of all the fact that they fit, and offer great support. I even wear my 'Mayari' Birks when I play golf.
I have two pairs of Granadas in the 'near-leather' material, love their feminine look, and being able to buy leather and soft footbed, decided I had to try them. They fit perfectly, and the leather is soft enough that I have worn them for several days without any problems.
The color of the oiled leather is not the best. The 'tobacco' and the 'habana' are both lighter than shown, and I decided that I would try giving the lighter ones another oiling to improve the appearance. I used a super-moisturizer that I use on my dry skin- 'aquaphor', figuring that it would be good for the leather. It gave my sandals a beautiful 'bronze' color. I plan on doing the other pair today.
I mentioned what I had done to my sister, and she said she had a pair of leather sandals that were too hard on the edges, and had made them wearable by rubbing the leather with baby oil. She has short, wide feet, and be both appreciate how our Birks fit. We shared a laugh about 'our great minds' working the same.
Please, keep your width choices!! Regular widths do not work for my narrow feet, (yes, I ordered one of those 'new' ones, and sent it right back), nor do they work for wide feet.

Alas, what they don't tell you about the softbed Granada is that it is slender--the foam takes up enough of the footbed so that my heel/inside of foot actually sits up on the cork side.
I've worn other Granadas over the years--still have a pair of black birkibuc,but was really looking forward to having a classic pair of oiled leather. Sad to have to send these back!

I love these sandals. Great go to pair for the spring and summer! Initially went with my recommended size but had to exchange for one size down.

I got a pair for myself, then my mom saw them and fell in love with them. I had originally tried the tobacco but it was too light. So I returned for the habana. The habana is dark, but I think it will lighten some and it definitely won't show marks like the tobacco could. I wish they had a medium toned leather, but oh well! I usually wear an 8.5-9 and a regular American width, I got these in a size 39 soft footbed and narrow Birkenstock width. They fit perfectly! I wasn't sure if I'd like the soft footbed, but it has the "broken in" feel right out of the box, instead of having to break them in like the originals. You can still feel the arch support, but it's not quite as sharp at first. My mom normally wears a 9-9.5 and a regular width, so I got her a pair in size 40 soft footbed and narrow Birkenstock width. She loves them! I think I should win daughter of the year.

I think this is a beautiful sandal, however feels a bit stiff but I think with use and wear the leather will soften up. Otherwise nice sandal.

These shoes are amazing. I ordered them for a vacation, and am so glad I did. They look cute with dresses, capris, shorts, or jeans. And they are very comfy to walk in. Once you break them in, they feel like part of your feet. LOVE.

Good-looking shoe and oh so comfortable! I think the 39 is a bit too long/wide and have ordered a 38 to compare before returning one.

LOVE these soft footbed Birkenstocks! I've had many pairs over the years and they make my feet feel great. I think the Granada style is a little more delicate looking than the other sandal styles
